Virtual Cabinet meeting

On Wednesday, Newham Council held its first, totally virtual Cabinet meeting. Usually Cabinet meetings are held in public but due to COVID-19 the government has allowed Councils to hold "virtual" meetings instead.  We have held virtual Cabinet meetings before Wednesday but had the minimum quorum of 3 cabinet members physically present (but maintaining social distance) in case technology failed and meeting had to be cancelled. The meeting was also published live on Facebook.


Amongst a number of items there was a comprehensive report on our response as a Council to the COVID-19 emergency and I was pleased that we agreed to invest in yet another social housing scheme, spending £35.3 million at the Brickyard scheme in East Ham.

racists trolls should know what to expect to their "comments". Please troll off and find somewhere else in the social media sewer to play in

Blimey, I am now getting anonymous calls for Christian Church bell ringing to be banned. Must be a Hitler worshipping cultist.
